When I try to connect to the computer connected by the wire from a wireless
computer, it doesn't let me in. When I go into my network places and click on
show workgroup computers, nothing appears. Not even the computer I'm on. The
network name is the same for all of the computers on the network. I installed
Linksys EasyLink Advisor and it detects the other computers. How do I fix
this?

Assuming that your Wireless works and you can use the Internet with it.
Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network settings,

As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what is allowed
to be shared.
